There was even more UFC 200 drama this morning, as the new main event between Miesha Tate and Amanda Nunes came close to getting called off.

With a new early weigh-in procedure in place for the event – the first time early weigh-ins were utilized in Nevada – fighters had to check in and weigh-in at the official location between the hours of 8AM and 10AM PT. Failure to check in by that time and to make weight would lead to a fight’s cancellation, and Tate was a late show, getting in just before the time limit to register her official weight.

Two other fighters came down to the wire, with both Kelvin Gastelum and Johny Hendricks getting to the venue just before the cutoff as well. Gastelum hit his mark without issue, though a shaky and sunken-in Hendricks missed by a quarter of a pound, forfeiting 20% of his purse to Gastelum for the event.

All other fighters made weight, including Brock Lesnar, who came in at 265.5 pounds for his return fight against Mark Hunt.

Penick’s Analysis: The weigh-in procedure is new for fighters, so some can’t be blamed entirely for perhaps timing things wrong a bit, but in the case of Hendricks it’s still entirely concerning when a fighter looks the way he did after a cut. As for Tate, it would have been right in line with everything else that happened this week for her to have missed or shown up late to have that fight get canceled. Thankfully there weren’t any more problems, and the event can go on tomorrow night.
